Do we always have to LEARN the LESSON the FIRST TIME we commit the MISTAKE?

Question

what if the initial lesson isnt what's needed to be learned, that you simply mistaken?

Answer 1

I can only speak for myself, but I do not always learn from my mistakes the first time.Everyone has an area of their life which is somewhat of a weak point.
For me, it was the area of love, and I did not learn what needed to be learned until I stopped searching for the correct answer to the problem. I was mistaken, many times over, and it was worth learning, and living, and I would do it all over again. To obtain the knowledge which I did have the privilege of learning.
My life is a continual and ever evolving love of life, and the knowledge which I seek is the truth. So for me I will continually learn, grow, and evolve, making mistakes,and learning from them continually as well.Stagnation is the point of no return for me in my life.
Blessings and love

Answer 2

It sure would help if you understood the first time WHY people considered your action to be a mistake.

However, I think most of us are familiar with making the same mistake twice, or even a few more times, before we've learned our lesson.

As long as the mistake isn't life-threatening, or horribly abusive to other people, it isn't really necessary to learn the lesson the first time after you've made the mistake. (tho you certainly should try to learn a lesson as soon as possible from the mistakes you make)

Answer 3

I completely agree. I've always thought that I made things hard on myself by having to make a life mistake at least a couple of times before I learned the lesson, but I didn't learn it because it was just one phase of the process. I guess I pick up puzzle pieces at a time and when I have them all, the lesson clicks and I go, "Ohhhh!"
The light bulb thing, you know?

Answer 4

The Proverb says" Man learns by his Mistake!'
I think that it's not necessary the learn the lesson, for the first time we commit a mistake......
When someone makes a mistakes at the Initial stage , he should try not to repeat the same mistake again......he should rectify it!

Answer 5

Well firslt, do we always have to learn the lesson the first time we commit the mistake? Well...no. It's not that we always do...actually...I thnk people usually never do. That's why they keep repeating their mistakes. No wonder...eh? So...yeah...that's probably 'cause they didn't learn their lesson the first time around.
And...what if the intial lesson isn't what's needed to be learned, that you simply mistaken? Well...I do merely say that the 'intial' lesson is only decided by what crime that person is commiting.
Obviously, if its a crime like shop lifting, the person's 'intial' lesson wouldn't be to aim the gun carefully.
Or if the crime is kidnappin, their 'intial' lesson obviously wouldn't be to respect your mother.
But...back to your question. If the 'intial' lesson isn't what's needed to be learned...well...I'll just say....

Answer 6

If I am understanding your question you are asking
can it be wise to not learn from a mistake.
At the very least, I think that the mistake can result
in learning how to avoid placing one's self in a situation
which appears to have no appropriate solution. In
other words, it might not be beneficial to assimilate
the experience, but if the experience isn't worth
assimilating then it is probably worth avoiding.
That said, the situations in which nothing useful
can be learned are few and far between, so
avoidance should be a last resort unless
health is in the balance.

Answer 7

Something's to be learned from every lesson. Sometimes we don't recognise the same lesson in a different form. Sometimes the lesson needs to be presented in a different form for us to learn from it. Whatever - every lesson is needed. But we all can be slow to learn, in our own way. The most common way is either thinking we don't need to learn, or clinging to what we've already learned when it's not appropriate, which is much the same thing.

Answer 8

Oh, no, that's for sure. If you learn the lesson the first time you make a mistake, consider yourself lucky; for most of us it takes more than once, sometimes it takes a lifetime to learn the lesson!

Answer 9

We rarely learn the lesson the first time we commit a mistake - unless we have enlightened parents who correct the error without shaming the child.

Once we are shamed, as though we have committed an unpardonable act (are "in error" as opposed to making an error) we will replay the experience over and over throughout our life. Unless, of course we examine the original "sin" and reframe it.

Answer 10

Some people are experiential. It is very easy in many situations to learn from or through others. Direct experience, particularly of negative things is not a requirement.

I learned many lessons observing an older sibling and avoiding what that sibling did.
